So I just got my BS in mechanical engineering from RIT, and my grandma got me a pretty kickass graduation present: 1985 Porsche 928S 5.0L 32V V8 5-speed Chipped with exhaust work 288hp from the factory, I'm guesstimating something closer to 330-345hp, but have to go to a dyno... The sound...

Hey all, Since I got my '89T in 2007, I haven't really done anything to it besides replace hoses and the radiator. That being said, I recently got a fairly substantial bonus and am looking to put some dollars into the old girl. I don't have aspirations of 6 million horsepowers or anything...

So I was driving back from classes today, and I thought "Well, the air is good and cold, maybe I should try an iPhone dyno run." So, I found a nice stretch of road, pulled over, did the accelerometer calibration, and did the run. I hadn't gotten a solid reading on it since I swapped the...

Hey all. Got bored today and booted up Forza for the first time in a while and decided to play with the paint editor. Being that I'm in the navy, I came up with this. I like it, but I would never put it on my car

I don't know how long this post is going to be, please bear with me. It has finally happened. My beloved Supra's unerring reliability has gotten its first black spot. I was driving back to school from the rifle range a few weeks ago where I had been with some friends. Dropped two of them...

So I just did my first autocross yesterday... Damn, it was fun. Made me realize how much I really need to replace my rear shocks though. Overall, I was fairly mediocre, definitely let the car down. First run: 77s, clean Second run: 71s, 1 cone Third run: 71s, clean Here is a video...

Well, apparently it let go and cracked around one of the bolts, and now I have this plastic parasite dragging on the ground on my way to work making me look like an idiot... I stopped 4 times on the way to work to tie it up in different places, and then I ran out of shoelaces (I was pressed...

So way back in 1972, my father bought himself a factory new, loaded 240z. I do not come into the story here, as I would have been -15 years old. Something or other happened, long story short- he doesn't have it anymore. Of course, he always reminisces about said 240z, says he wants another...

I haven't been able to get my car to a dyno yet since I bought it, but I was wondering if anyone could give me a ballpark figure on what kind of power I'm making with the following modifications. ( I realize some of these are a little vague, previous owner was vague to me.) Bored to 3.2L Ross...

I will preface this by saying that I searched the forums, and found many people with the exact opposite of my problem. Since I changed my seats (corbeaus back to a set of stock leather seats), I've noticed a few things happening that both anger and confuse me (futurama reference). 1...

I've had my '89 turbo for a little under a year now, and it came with some aftermarket Corbeau seats and 4-point harnesses. I just got back from an 1100 mile road trip to VA and, while the seats are good, they just aren't GT enough for me nor are they very easy to adjust on the fly. With...

Hi everyone. I joined the forums about a month ago, but never said anything except for a comment about a 240Z. So I figured it was about time. I currently drive a black '89 Turbo Targa 7MGTE w/ R154. I saved my Supra last July from an individual who was starting to go down the path of evil...
